ln

Create links to files and directories. More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/ln-invocation.html.

• Create a symbolic link to a file or directory:

ln {{[-s|--symbolic]}} /{{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{path/to/symlink}}

• Overwrite an existing symbolic link to point to a different file:

ln {{[-sf|--symbolic --force]}} /{{path/to/new_file}} {{path/to/symlink}}

• Create a hard link to a file:

ln /{{path/to/file}} {{path/to/hardlink}}
